Ten On The Tenth Thrift Store Makeover
Hello Dear Readers and welcome to TEN on the TENTH! If you are a bargain shopper today is your day! Today you will find thirteen bloggers sharing economical, easy and naturally, thrifty ideas on how we made the most of our thrift store shopping experience. Today I am sharing my DIY Farmhouse Wall Hook Rack. This DIY project is a quick makeover and makes for super cute home decor, for any room in our homes. Double bonus is this... I think it'd be perfect for Valentine's Day too!

As you probably know by now we recently moved to Monument Colorado and naturally one of the first things I wanted to do was check out the nearby shops. Monument has a super cute downtown and I have really been looking forward to checking out a few of our local thrift shops too. |

This past week Sadie and I loaded up in the Yukon and headed out. I even had a small list of wish items in my purse and I had truly planned to make a full day of it. However once I arrived at Tri-Lakes my search ended.

But for this blog post our challenge was to find a thrift store find for under ten bucks. You won't believe this - I found my treasure for $5.00 with money left over for a chocolate milkshake!
I found this rather humdrum stained wooden rack and gave it a new life with some light sanding, chalk paint and acrylic paint.

Thanks for joining me today!
Jemma, this is so adorable! I love the black/white paint and the way you've styled it on your wall. I hope you are enjoying your new home! We love Colorado and hope to move there for a few years one day. We have friends there who keep telling us it is a great place to live. We've visited several times and have fallen in love with it! Have a great day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteReally cute how your "new" rack turned out, Jemma! Thanks for sharing this new thrift store, as well. That's my cup of tea to be able to haunt local thrifting places wherever I go! Happily pinned several photos to my boards for you today as part of 10 on the 10th. This is a fun hop and I am happy to be with you on it!

Very crisp and eye catching, Jemma! I bet that chocolate milkshake was good too! The shop looked like a nice place to shop. It must be fun finding new little places in your area.

ReplyDeleteThat's really cute, Jemma. A great idea and wonderful makeover!
ReplyDeleteJemma, I love that you are back with us. Such as a cute shelf and project. Love the hearts. Looks like you have a great resource for thrift store items. What is walk chalk paint?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Laura and I am wishing you the same!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, thank you. Simple is the name of the game...right!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol! So happy to be joining you ladies. You are an excellent proof reader...typo on my part. I wish I could say I had discovered a new and awesome paint but this is just plain and simple chalk paint!
ReplyDeleteThe wall hook rack is really cute, Jemma. You did a fantastic job on the sanding and the painting, and the red polka dot heart adds a special touch. It looks so nice in your home. I'm glad that you're checking out all the thrift shops in your new area. This one looks so charming. When I saw the Raggedy Ann doll, I smiled, as Nel still has hers from her childhood. I look forward to seeing all the treasures that you found that day. It's nice to hear that you are settling in and becoming familiar with your new area. Hello Sadie, you sure are cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, dearest Jemma.
love, ~Sheri
